1. Because this picture is in black and white it gives it a more depressed look. It has a sad mood because of the dark contrast and the the way the girl is posed. The photographer was trying to convey a picture of a depressed, upset girl. You can tell by the way the girl is standing and the fact that she is looking away. This photo makes me feel upset for the girl, she seems lonely and it makes me want to comfort her. Because the girl is in the center of the photo she is the main focus and your eyes are drawn to her. The fact her face is covered by shadows and its a very dark picture gives it more mystery. To create the affects of the shadows and the darker spots you can either have your lighting set so that its brighter on one sad or you can use photoshop to edit it and play around with the contrast and make it darker.
2. The photographer made the picture black and white so it would be more meaningful and the viewers wouldn't be distracted by any color. This picture is taken in a farm like place. It has a bit of a depressing mood. It seems like this woman and her family are poor and trying to do whatever they can to make money and get the things they need. This woman is possibly from a different country and is having a hard time supporting her family. This picture has a lot of texture in it, from the woman's wrinkles to the clothes they are wearing. The picture is mostly gray and its very simple, this help keep the focus on the the woman and baby. To achieve this look you can you use photoshop and use the burn and dodge tool to get the brightness and darkness the way you want. Also this picture is low depth of field which means the focus is just on the woman and child and the background is blurred. This is done by adjusting the f-stop on the camera. (Nicholas Nixon)
3. To me this picture portrays a happy mood and reminds me of summer time because its three friends just hanging out walking around town. This picture is in high depth which means everything is in focus. Even though everything in the picture is in focus you can tell that the subject of the picture is still the kids because they are in the center of the photograph.
